Facundo Pellistri has not been handed a Manchester United start in more than two years at the club but has still been deemed good enough for Uruguay's World Cup squad.
The youngster, signed during Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's tenure, has had to head out on loan to continue his development at Spanish side Alaves, but has done enough to be named in his country's 26-man squad for the tournament in Qatar. Uruguay have twice won the World Cup and have a good recent record in the tournament.
Diego Alonso's side, led by Luis Suarez and former United man Edinson Cavani, are in a group with Portugal, South Korea and Ghana. Pellistri will be the youngest member of a squad which also includes Liverpool 's record signing Darwin Nunez and Tottenham's Rodrigo Bentancur.
